A method of making reflective decals, such as for use on automobile license plates, allows one to utilize conventional reflective face stock, yet in a mechanized and efficient manner affix a decal to a carrier for mailing. A standard web of reflective face stock, adhesive, and first liner is coated with a second adhesive layer (on the first liner) and a second liner is applied. The web is printed and dried, as with UV ink and by UV drying. Sequential numbers can be applied by printing, as can an expiration year, etc. The web is then die cut to separate a matrix containing reflective stock, first adhesive, first liner, and second adhesive, from surrounding printed decals, the decals spaced from each other and connected by the second liner (e.g., 1.5 mil silicone coated polyester). The matrix material is removed from the web by winding it up into a roll, and the web is taken up, and then ultimately handled by conventional labeling equipment to affix individual decals (by the second layer of adhesive) to individual carriers. The printed web can also be acted upon to flood coat the face stock with scuff resistant UV overprint varnish, and then UV drying the varnish.
